Poll question: Is Bushco's Iraq War the crime of the century?
Occasionally I stop and ponder err wonder, why are high ranking elected and/or government officials above the law? Why does our society allow this lawlessness? Why is government above the law? Anyway, back to the poll. Is Bushco's Iraq War the crime of the century?

The crime of the century is what they did as an excuse to justify the Iraq AND Afghanistan wars. :grr:

2. It May be the Greatest Step Backwards for a Developed Country,
but as far as war crimes go, I would have to vote for what's going on in the Congo.

4. I couldn't understand why so many pukes were using their faces to justify torture
and go on and on about terra, terra all the time... But the other day Lindsey Graham was on the t.v. machine and said it... We can decide about this and that person in Guantanamo and blah, blah.. just as long as we don't criminalize the war itself. Scared little chickens.

8. No. The absolute refusal to prosecute those responsible for it is the crime of the century.

11. Considering we are only 10 years in...
...I think Darfur ranks highly and not just because of the deaths, but the seemingly lack of action of the world.
